Angélica, mi vida lit. transl. Angélica, My Life, is an American telenovela created and produced by Telemundo and Ángel del Cerro in 1988, in cooperation with Capitalvision International Corporation.[1]
It was the first telenovela produced by Telemundo as a national network, bringing an end to roughly 30 years of production in Puerto Rico, where the network had its start. From now on, Telemundo's productions were made in the mainland United States, with an emphasis on Miami for filming and plot lines.[2]
Plot
The story revolves around three Latin families living in the United States, one Cuban, one Puerto Rican and the other Mexican. All three reflect the desire for success and improvement that prevails among Latino immigrants. The romantic interest runs between Angélica (Laura Fabián), a special education teacher, and Alfredo (Carlos Montalvo), who comes from a family that has a flourishing food business. But she will have to compete with two other women for the same man, who will use a network of intrigue to separate them, but what they do not suspect is that the romance may be in danger, because a dark secret can destroy the angelic love of this couple, condemning them to the possibility of a relationship with incestuous overtones because he could be their first cousin.
